1:00 am
a book that you're ready to share with the world? get published now, call for your free publisher kit today! the suspect accused of sending explosive packages in you in custody, details on the clue that helped investigators. and president trump faces questions about his tone and rhetoric. and the season's first nor'easter is on track to hit the u.s. east coast. all because of remnants of a hurricane. and also ahead, the baseball game that would not end. welcome to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. we're live from atlanta. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell.
1:01 am
from cnn head quarters, "newsroom" starts right now. 4:00 a.m. on the east coast. the manhunt is finally over, the suspect now behind bars. police caught a serial bombmaker in the state of florida who allegedly targeted prominent democrats. >> authorities say one fingerprint on one of the packages led them to this man, 56-year-old cesar sayoc in south florida. he is now linked to at least 14 explosive devices intercepted across the u.s. since monday. >> police also impounded his white van, that van covered with pro trump imagery as you see here. and negative images of many of his intended targets. here is everything we know so far from drew griffin. >> reporter: authorities have a suspect in custody they say is responsible for at least a dozen package bombs discovered all across the u.s.
1:02 am
>> each device consisted of roughly 6 inches of pvc pipe, a small clock, a battery, some wiring and what is known as energetic material which is essentially potential explosives and material that give off heat and energy through a reaction to heat, shock or friction. >> reporter: chris wray indicating that fingerprint found on one of those packages led fbi investigators to 56-year-old cesar sayoc, who is facing five federal crimes and up to 48 years in prison. >> based on their initial analysis, they uncovered a latent finger present frprint f of the envelopes contain an ied sent to maxine waters. we have confirmed that this fingerprint is that of cesar sayoc. and there is also a possible connection from pieces mailed in
1:03 am
separate envelopes and a sample previously collected from sayoc. >> reporter: and now he is in federal custody, arrested in south florida. authorities also impounding this white van taking every precaution unaware of what may be inside. >> we just took him into custody. we want the road shut down and then we'll start evacuating. >> reporter: sayoc had been living in that van recently after being kicked out of his parent's house. that van covered in plit stioli stickers, as well as one that says cnn sucks. here he is at a trump campaign rally last year holding a sign saying the same thing. sayoc's social media accounts feature numerous postings from
1:04 am
trump rallies. and it reads like a target list for those who have received package bombs this week. he trolls former president obama with photos disparaging the kennedy family. he mocks biden's 9/11 message with a photo of his delaware home and pictures that suggest fire bombing it. he blames former attorney general eric holder for the murder of a border patrol a little. and he vilifies maxine waters tweeting bad memes and encouraging his like minded followers to attend an end with her in california. a denier of the parkland high school shooting massacre, he accuses george soros for funding a coverup and paying students to pretend they were victims. and public records show sayoc had an extensive criminal record dating back as far as 1991. the most notable offense, a 2002 charge of threatening to discharge a destructive device at a florida utility company. just recently a package
1:05 am
addressed to tom steyer was found in california. and earlier today, one intended for james clapper addressed to cnn in new york was intercepted as a new york facility. and another addressed to senator cory booker was found in florida. drew griffin, miramar, florida. and we're learning even more about the suspect and his past. cnn spoke with his former lawyer who represented him in previous criminal cases. >> and he now represents sayoc's family. in this interview, anderson cooper started by asking what sayoc was like as a person. >> well, when i first met him, the first thing i noticed was his vehicle. at the time he had another vehicle and it was plastered full of indian materials, regal i can' regalis, posters, and of course i saw that as strange. most people don't drive around
1:06 am
with plastered vehicles. and i also recall he pulled out a scrap book and he immediately wanted to show me newspaper clippings, photographs of him with this exotic dancer or wrestler or him body building. and i recognized very quickly that he suffered from certainly an identification issue as to who he was. he needed people to be impressed with him. he had issues of insecurity. i then began to realize that he also had what i considered lesser iq, substantial emotional problems. he was like a 14-year-old in an adult's body. >> so do you know why he all of a sudden became, whether -- why not if politically active wis te right word, but engaged with trump presidency, going to
1:07 am
rallies, blast tering th ingplao you have any sense of why that happened? >> i have my opinion. i obviously don't know with certainty, but it is my opinion that he was attracted to the trump formula of reaching out, trump reaching out to these types of outsiders, people who don't fit in, people who are angry at america, telling them that they have a place at the table, telling them that it is okay to get angry. i believe that that was a motivating factor. did i blanl the president solely? no. this is a sick individual. i actually blame all of us. we have to start arranging for treatment of people when we start to see the problems. we don't have to wait for it to brk v become violenolenviolent. we're not socializing these people when we recognize things like living in vans or stupid actions like threatening a power company. we need a plan to work on these
1:08 am
people that are outsiders. it doesn't require psychiatrist and expensive doctors. >> you said that he sort of embraced the idea that he was native american even though i believe there is no evidence -- the family says that there is no evidence, he actually wasn't native american. but now something about this last election, that became the focus of whatever his resentment or anger or whatever his emotional problems were, that's what you believe? >> well, he was clearly not native american. his father was filipino and abandoned him as a child. and his mother is italian. and he adopted this claim to being a seminole because he was trying to create an identity. and if you ask me, again, my layman's opinion is that manifested from his lack of a father and his desire for an identity. this was someone lost. he was looking for anything and
1:09 am
he found a father in trump. >> that is a key quote there. just learning more about sayoc, his personality and things that were important to him. president trump claims that he has toned down his harsh rhetoric. >> but then attacked the media at a political rally in north carolina claiming it is dividing the country. jeff zeleny has more from charlotte. >> reporter: president trump issuing another call for civility at a rally friday evening in the wake of the are arrest of the suspected serial bomber responsible for sending at least 14 pipe bombs to democratic critics of this president. the president opened his remarks at this rally saying there is no place in american society for political violence. he said that he is committed to changing the discourse but didn't say how. immediately shifting to blaming the media, blaming democrats. he really is trying in the final less than two weeks before the
1:10 am
midterm elections, trying to use the media as what he says trying to score points. it is his leading opponent now the president again and again and again saying that the media is trying to stop his movement as he calls it, the most powerful movement in the history of this country. never mind the civil rights movement and other 3450u6789s fr3450u6789s -- movements from history. the president casting this final argument if you will as the media trying to stop him. of course the supporters cheered all of that, but we didnnt don' how it will play with independent voters and others. but take a listen to what the president said about this. >> everyone will benefit if we can end the politics of personal destruction. we must unify as a nation in peace, love and in harmony. the media has a major role to play whether they want to or
1:11 am
not. and they do indeed, they have a major role to play as far as tone and as far as everything. and we all say this in all sincerity, but the media's constant unfair coverage, deep hostility, and negative attacks, you know that, only serve to drive people apart and to undermine healthy debate. for example, we have seen an
1:12 am
effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the republican party. >> reporter: the president clearly trying to get the midterm election message back, not talking much at all about the suspected serial bomber, going after democrats hard on immigration, accusing them without any information of falsely trying to bring immigrants here to the u.s. to vote in some cases and others. there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud, of course it is something he likes to talk about again and again and something that he is talking about search with increasing frequency going into the midterm elections.search with increasin frequency going into the midterm elections. but a softer tone, but taking no responsibility for his role in this overheated political climate that certainly led to at least the arrest of that suspected serial bomber in florida. jeff zeleny, cnn, charlotte, north carolina. let's talk more about this
1:13 am
n with a professor of ethics. natasha, the u.s. president hardly mentioned the serial bomber who from all indications supported mr. trump. instead we saw a predictable pattern on stage. donald trump doubling down on his attacks on the media, all the wild procehile projecting h traits on the people he dislikes saying he is being attacked making himself the victim politically. is this a winning strategy for him? >> well, for trump you have to remember he is speaking to his supporters. so this played right into what they want to hear. you know, he can really say anything, particularly what is very popular is accusing the media of being at fault for this, of being a major problem in the united states. and his supporter, his base, they absolutely love it. and so i don't think that there
1:14 am
is really anything that he can say that is going to deter his voters from voting for republican candidates. it is more really about how this may affect independents. or may even really up democratic voters even further. and it hasn't really been a particularly good showing from the president. he hasn't really said enough to unite the country, to inspire calm. and to really reach out to the victims. and he never really even called the victims. he seemed almost upset that the news cycle wasn't focused on him and that this was almost a left wing conspiracy at one point. >> one tweet indicating that he might have been disappointed that the coverage wasn't focused on the midterms and also the president again just doubling down on on the rhetoric that we've heard so often from him. it is a very predictable pattern. 3 mr. trump refusing to take any
1:15 am
responsibility for the possible impact of that rhetoric, instead pointing to what he describes as a double standard of the last time that u.s. senator was attacked by a gunman who supported bernie sanders. listen to this. >> for example, we have seen an effort by the media in recent hours to use the sinister actions of one individual to score political points against me and the republican party. yet when a bernie sanders supporter tried to murder congressional republicans and severely wounded a great man named steve scalise and others, we did not use that heinous attempt at mass murder for political gain because that would have been wrong. >> and he is speaking to his base. they support that concept. does the president have a point there or is this a false
1:16 am
eequivalence? >> i think in the case of trump he doesn't want to take responsibility for the fact that he is -- that his rhetoric is incredibly divisive and seems to be inspiring right wing extremists. and you think about what happened in charlottesville, he couldn't get himself to actually denounce these people that were involved in this because he didn't want to do anything that would upset his base. and he hasn't really owned up to the fact that the type of rhetoric that he uses, the way that he almost supports violence against the press and encourages -- >> the president does seem to support that. >> some of the things that he says seems to support that. he doesn't take responsibility for the fact that this is going to inspire lone actor individuals, lone actor types of terrorism, to go after his opponents.
1:17 am
>> natasha, we appreciate your time and perspective. we'll stay in touch with you. and we'll have more of course on the serial bomb making suspect when we continue in the newscast, what his former employer says about him still ahead. also ahead this hour, the fiance of the journalist killed in turkey speaks out. we'll tell you what she says about president trump's invitation to visit the white house.
1:18 am
1:19 am
1:20 am
what would it look like... ...if we listened more? could the right voice, the right set of words, bring us all just a little closer, get us to open up, even push us further?
1:21 am
it could. if we took the time to listen. the most inspiring minds. the most compelling stories. download audible. and listen for a change. the fiance of hillary clinton oig w clinton -- khashoggi who was killed in turkey is speaking out. she was one of the last people to see him alive and she tells a turkish broadcaster he was worried about going into the consulate, but what happened was unthinkable. >> translator: i tried to think positive things. it has never crossed my mind that such a thing could have happened. never. never. the not even 10% of the facts that we learned 25 days later came to my mind while i was waiting there that day.
1:22 am
yes, u.s. president trump invited me to the united states during the first days of the process, but his statements had very short time periods in between and they were contradictory. >> just unbelievable what happened to him. there are some develops in the case we want to tell you about. sources say the director of the cia heard an audiotape of khashoggi being killed and the turkish president is apparently ramping up pressure on the saudi, but they are pushing back. for more, let's go nic robertson live in istanbul. first of all, what is the turkish president demanding from the saudis and what has been the saudi response. >> reporter: yeah, he is demanding a lot and he is really getting in front of this now with the drip, drip, drip of information coming from turkish officials. but now president erdogan essentially saying don't think we don't have other documents. tomorrow is another day. indicating that the evidence that the world knows about at the moment isn't the sum total
1:23 am
that turkey has. he said that saudi officials must tell them where khashoggi's body is, they must tell them who the collaborator is that the saudis say this hit team that came to kill jamal khashoggi, who this collaborator is, and he is demanding as well that saudi arabia extradite the 18 people that they have in detention right now here to turkey to face trial here. indeed the chief prosecutor yesterday actually issued those extradition requests to saudi arabia and now we are getting the first response from a senior saudi official, the foreign minister saying that actually these 18 people will be tried in saudi arabia. we heard this from the crown prince earlier in the week saying that these are saudi nationals, they have been detained in saudi arabia and the saudi justice system is quite capable of putting them on trial and bringing them to justice in
1:24 am
saudi arabia. and he also says that he is finding the whole conversation around khashoggi's disappearance and the way it is being raised and the talk about his death as somewhat hysterical. >> we have tried to share the information that we have obtained with the public. but unfortunately, there has been this hysteria in the media about saudi arabia's guilt before the investigation is completed. and what we say to people is, wait until ueverything is done, then reflect on the results and make a determination on whether this investigation was serious or not. but not from the get-go. >> reporter: so the chief prosecutor from saudi arabia traveling to istanbul tomorrow to meet his opposite number here. clearly extradition will be front and center on the table. >> and also the u.s. defense secretary has been speaking out about the investigation.
1:25 am
what has he had to say? >> reporter: areyeah, this is v interesting. we haven't had a lot from president trump since gina haspel briefed him on that audio recording that she heard here in turkey that apparently showed -- revealed jamal khashoggi's death. turkish investigate are toioorss brutal, torture, and even dismemberment involved. nothing so far from president trump on that. but the secretary of defense james mattis traveling in the middle east at the moment speaking about this, said that the united states is still investigating and still looking at this and the actions that they have taken so far is not the end of it. this is how he put it. >> due to the gravity. situation, i will continue consulting with our president and secretary of state as they consider the implications of this incident within our broader strategic framework. we will maintain our twin
1:26 am
imperatives as stated by secretary of state mike pompeo protecting america and our interests, and holding accountable those responsible for this murder. our secretary of state has already revoked visas and will be taking additional measures as the situation is clarified. >> so saudi arabia and turkey are really digging in on their positions. particularly on the issue of extradition and where the jurisdicti jurisdiction for the trial should be. there doesn't seem to be common ground in the middle. so of course what the united states and president trump has to say is hugely vital to the way this plays out. >> nic robertson for us in istanbul with the latest, we thank you. the man accused of sending bombs to high ranking officials and even our bureau in new york had a criminal history, nine arrests before friday. as we return, we speak to a retired fbi profiler about his
1:27 am
past. plus this -- i can't fire somebody because of their political views. as much as i'd like to, i couldn't. but his van was freaky scary. >> he's been called a model employee, but something wasn't right. we hear from sayoc's former employer, you jyou just heard f her, coming up here on "cnn newsroom."
1:28 am
oh, milk. another breakfast, another dilemma. am i willing to pay the price for loving you? you'll make my morning, but ruin my day. complicated relationship with milk? pour on the lactaid. it's delicious 100% real milk, just without that annoying lactose. mmm, that's good. lactaid. the real milk that doesn't mess with you. and for chocolate lovers, try rich, creamy lactaid chocolate milk.
1:29 am
1:30 am
i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me? through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell with the headlines. u.s. authorities in south florida have arrested this man, 56-year-old who allegedly sent more than a dozen potentially
1:31 am
explosive guys to prominent democrats and others. they say a fingerprints led them to cesar sayoc who has a lengthy criminal record. police also impounded his van, you see it there with many stickers -- covered with blow trump -- pro trump images. >> president praised law enforcement and called the acts despicable and he also urged unity and the end of what he calls personal destruction and also criticized the media for how it has covered his rhetoric and response to the attempted bombings. the saudi foreign minister says suspects held for the killing of jamal khashoggi are being prosecuted in saudi arabia. the turkish president says he wants the 18 suspects handed over to turkey. turkey says that khashoggi was murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul. again, the suspected
1:32 am
bombmaker now in federal custody. he has worked as a pizza delivery man in ft. lauderdale until last january. >> after the arrest on friday, his boston at the restaurant spoke to our colleague kate bolduan who provided in-cite si into his personality. >> what did you think when you heard him named today? >> i was shocked. i couldn't believe it. my hair stood up. i knew he had issues. he really was not -- he definitely beat to the beat of his own drum. he was anti-gay, anti-black, anti-jewish. you name it. everybody that really wasn't white and wasn't a white supremacist didn't belong in the world. that's what he used to say all the time. but i was shellshocked when i found out it was him. because as far as an employee,
1:33 am
he was on time, he was cordial, he was articulate. i never had any problems with him. there was no theft. my customers liked him. but it was just his political views that scared me. basically he was a model employee. that's what i can't understand. i'm sitting here saying to myself what happened? i just can't -- >> it almost sounds like two different people. you're talking about an employee who shows up on time, who was as understand cordial but had issues. when you talk about the things that he is spouting, clearly he had issues. was he violence? -- violent? >> not at all. he knew i was a gonzalez pea le made it a point to tell me that god had made a mistake with me and that i should burn in hell. >> he would just say that to you straight to your face?
1:34 am
>> absolutely. absolutely. absolutely. but my mother brought me up to always believe the best in people, you know. and turn the other cheek. and i've had people not like me because i've been gay. and to me, i didn't have to go home with him. he was not a friend of mine. i just hired him. he did his job. and that is how i looked at it. >> i wanted to ask you about the van because there has been so much attention on his van today. did he bring that very same van with those very same stickers to work? >> absolutely he did. and that is why i hired him to drive at night. i couldn't have him driving in the daytime. i had him driving at night. he parked the van around the corner. i never got any complaints from any of the customers. if i did, he would have been fired. this is what people seem not to understand. i can't fire somebody because of their political views whether they don't like me or they don't like a black person or a guy person, i can't do that. i can't. as much as i'd like to, i
1:35 am
couldn't. but his van was freaky scary. >> i saw in the "washington post" that you told their reporter that inside the van there were puppets with their heads cut off and mannequins with their heads cut off? >> mannequins and puppets and nooses. but that was on his van also. there was ku klux klan, there was nazi symbols. >> did he talk to you about those things? >> no, absolutely not. he talked to me about coming to a show at the hard rock, but i would have to come by myself. he really -- he appreciated me as a general manager. and that whatever i could do for him, i did. if he needed time off to go home early, i would let him go home early. and i appreciated him as being on time and being, you know, articulate and due diligent and all of that. as far as the political views, no. when he would start on that, i would just kind of nip it in the
1:36 am
bud and say you got a delivery, you got to go. he knew that i was a very strong supporter, very strong lesbian, very proud of my sexuality. but more than once he told me that if he had complete autonomy, i would burn in hell with all the blacks and jews and hispanics and everybody else. it was just the white supremacists that were going to rule the world. and unfortunately, he says as much as i like you, you'll be the first one i burn. >> let's get more on this with a former profiler for the fbi joining us thousand. thank you so much, mr. clemente. i want to ask you first,thousan. thank you so much, mr. clemente. i want to ask you first, the devices could have caused serious harm. when you consider how many were sent across the country, how lucky is it none went off? >> i think that is a factor based on the fact that the first package that went to soros was discovered and then i think
1:37 am
everybody else's alarms went off. all the screening processes were increased. i think the secret service, the u.s. marshals and all the protective details just increased their surveillance of packages looking for these. and of course that went out in concentric circles across the country and many are were entwe intercepted. >> and how dangerous is this kind of pipe bomb? >> i think the fact that the pipe bombs were actually made of plastic pvc pipe reduces the amount of pressure that can build up behind them and therefore the blast radius will be minimized and i think the fact is that he added some kind of shrapnel or glass to actually increase the dnamage that was done. so they weren't extremely dangerous devices, but they will certainly could have hurt or killed at least an individual who opened them. and obviously the terror that they caused had rim he wi hadd .
1:38 am
>> and what is the fbi doing right now to find out if he had accomplices? >> well, they will start with people and interviews. his family, friends, colleagues, neighbor, they will all be interviewed. but they will also work on the forensics. they found his fingerprints, maybe dna. if other people were involved, they would have left trace dna as well, they may have left fingerprints. but at this point we don't know how many days, weeks or months he actually took to put all these together. again, they weren't extremely sophisticated, but they were complicated enough to actually work and cause damage good thif went off. >> the suspect's former employer said he was a good worker, on time, articulate, but at the same time ie anti-gay, anti-bla and it i j
1:39 am
anti-you j anti-jewish. so he was extremely hate-filled. and people are prejudiced, people are homophobihomophobic, is it -- you're a profiler. what is it that trips a person when you can no longer function in society because your beliefs so extreme that you trip and decide you want to kill people? >> well, i like to explain this way. i think the genetics loads the gun, gives them the potential. his personality and psychology aim it. and miss experiences pull this trigger. so the thousands of decisions he makes in the privacy of his own mind, does he embrace the bad side of him or does he reject it. but in this case he must have been embracing it and supporting it over a number of years because this behavior has been going on for a number of years. and so i believe that the thing that triggered it was his own lack of self-worth. he felt powerless, he felt like
1:40 am
he needed to regain some of that power. he wanted to make a statement. and the way he did it was to try to make a huge splash. and that is what is really important here. we have to understand that he is not a mero in any way, shape or form. and we can't make him that. if we keep his name and his face out of the news from now on, all right, we know who he is, let's forget about him, because we don't want to encourage other people to do the same thing just to make a big splash. >> we appreciate your comments. you and i didn't say the suspect's name, so hopefully we'll carry on like this as we report on the story. >> i appreciate it. >> thank you so much. still ahead, the border between israel and gaza once again the scene of violence. we look ahead at what set off this week's tension, we'll take you there live. insurance. medicare is great, but it doesn't cover everything ...only about 80% of your part b medicare costs.

1:43 am
welcome back. israeli jets hit what it calls
1:44 am
terror targets in gaza after rockets were fired toward israel. take a look. >> that is israel's iron dome missile defense system intercepting some of those rockets. meanwhile along the border with gaza, palestinian officials say four people were shot and killed by israeli soldiers, 180 wounded. >> oren liebermann is following these developments. he is near the gaza/israel border. oren, what is the latest with these continued rockets fired? >> reporter: that rocket fire continues to this hour both in northern gaza near where we are right now, we're just outside of northern gaza, and in southern gaza as well. just an hour ago go rocket alerts went off very close to where we're standing as well as along southern gaza. the israeli military in response carrying out a number of air strikes. in a briefing about an hour and a half ago, israel said at this
1:45 am
point nearly being -- rocketed have been fired, a number have been intercept intercepted. in response israel has carried out a series of nearly 100 air strikes targeting advanced weapons manufacturing sites and what they have described as terror and military sites belonging to hamas and other militant groups. this escalation last night is still going on. there may be behind the scenes efforts to try to get both sides back from the brink, but if so, we have not seen the fruits of this effort. it has been an intense long night and continues into this morning here. >> and israel holds hamas responsible, but is there is a better sense of who is behind this? >> reporter: in the briefing we had with the spokesperson, he pointed the finger directly at palestinian islamic jihad, that
1:46 am
is arguably the second biggest militant group in gaza. and it is effectively a proxy of iran or at least founded by iran. israel says that it is palestinian islamic jihad or pij as they are called in coordination with the revolut n revolutionary guard that are firing these rockets. they say the messages are coming through and they have seen a clear link to those messages. that is a rare statement to point the finger squarely at pij. perhaps more importantly, the israeli military says the response won't be limited geographically, essentially hoping up the possibility thata other targets in syria in response. that in and of itself is an incredibly rare statement from the israeli military which rarely acknowledges strikes in syria and certainly never at least not to my memory ever gives warning that it may carry out those strikes in advance. >> all right. given where things are now, where could things go from here?
1:47 am
>> reporter: all the possibilities at this point remain on the table. israel and hamas have said and continue to say repeatedly that they are not interested in a war, but suddenly there is the other player that is an important factor here and what are their interests. so is there an effort not to drag this into a war? it certainly seems so. we're standing near gaza and this would be a staging area. and you simply don't see that here. so although there is the fire, the rocket fire and the response that we've seen here, it has not gone beyond that at least not yet. and that is an important point to make. >> near the gaza/israel border, or ren liebermann on the story. thank you so much for the reporting. >> a beautiful blue sky full of rockets. does not seem right. it is a cold stormy weekend in the northeastern u.s. >> we're tracking the season's first nor'easter and we're seeing what damage it could bring. stay with us. mendez med iation.
